The Time Changed...<br />
8x10 inch, c-type photograph, printed in 90s<br />
Number 17/20, OP Edition<br />
Signed and titled on front<br />
As the practice of collecting photographs picked up<br />
steam by 1994, the push motivated us to establish<br />
a system for people to interact, exchange, acquire<br />
and collect photographs. We set up The Original<br />
Photograph Club that year and created a print program<br />
called the OP Print Program. Ka-sing and I co-curated<br />
the project and attended all administrative and<br />
organizing work. It would be a quarterly program, each<br />
quarter of the year would feature ten photographers’<br />
work. All participants would be required to contribute<br />
an image with 20 editions, printed in the size of 8 by<br />
10 inches. These prints we referred to as OP Editions.<br />

Poem a Week<br />
Gary Michael Dault<br />
Afternoon in August<br />
a sharp breeze<br />
salts<br />
a crooked street<br />
someone<br />
opens a window<br />
for a breath<br />
of this pointed air<br />
a golden dog<br />
yawns<br />
so the houses<br />
shudder slightly<br />
with its tender<br />
exhalation:<br />
more warming<br />
a car pulls up<br />
the driver<br />
opens the door<br />
fanning gardens<br />
for three houses around<br />
with the vehicle’s<br />
hot plastic smell<br />
beyond a screened<br />
kitchen window<br />
an old man<br />
draws himself a glass<br />
of cold water<br />
and then forgets<br />
to drink it

Watercolours Part One:<br />
Skies Over Water<br />
Malgorzata Wolak Dault<br />
The collection of watercolours to be shown here was influenced by John<br />
Marin’s Maine landscapes and seascapes. They are, as well, the fruits of the<br />
drives my husband and I often take through Prince Edward County to look at<br />
and enjoy its ever-changing skies and waters.<br />
This is a perfect moment in summer. I can feel it. Time has just stopped,<br />
and the only movement is the sun dancing on the surface of the water.
Open/Endedness<br />
bq 不 清<br />
跳 馬<br />
僅 以 體 操 運 動 員 的 身 分 現 身 並 不 導 致 你<br />
拯 救 這 個 世 界 。 我 們 有 必 要 泯 滅<br />
那 份 野 心 , 並 且 在 所 做 的 每 件 事 情 上<br />
都 隱 隱 地 獲 取 最 低 排 名 以 令 我 們<br />
在 復 興 主 義 被 召 喚 時<br />
能 夠 肯 定 領 前 眾 人 。 一 串 地 下 火 車<br />
被 誤 認 為 在 倒 行 而 其 實 正 從<br />
昨 日 的 終 站 前 行<br />
然 後 明 天 我 們 將 更 會 站<br />
穩 著 腳 , 並 高 舉 雙 手<br />
像 落 日 下 的 蘆 葦 一 邊 揮 手<br />
一 邊 思 考 存 在 的 目 的
Vault<br />
Just being a gymnast won’t result in you<br />
Saving the world. We need to kill off<br />
That ambition and be invisibly last<br />
In everything we do so that we<br />
Are always ahead of everyone when<br />
A revivalism is called for. A subterranean train<br />
Thought to be reversing is actually<br />
Moving forward at yesterday’s terminus.<br />
Then tomorrow we will be better at landing<br />
On our feet, with our both hands up high<br />
Waving like reeds at sunset<br />
Pondering over their purpose.

Tamara Chatterjee<br />
Back to life; back to usual wander through<br />
one the city’s modern garden paradise.<br />
Currently the pond outside the museum has<br />
been transformed into an abstract installation;<br />
which reads.... “There is a voice that doesn’t<br />
use words. Listen”. Rumi words permeate the<br />
entire space, with a feeling of connectivity -<br />
beyond religion, beyond boundaries, beyond<br />
the feeble human mind.

sequence. A complete suite of this collaboration<br />
will be published in the October <strong>2023</strong> issue of<br />
DOUBLE DOUBLE.
DIGI (1994-1996) is an extension to the last issue<br />
“DISLOCATION 1992-1999, and Beyond”.<br />
DIGI zine was a side-track in the course of our publishing venture.<br />
It was attached to the PHOTOART, in the last section as part of<br />
the contents. An additional print-run of 500 copies was printed<br />
as an independent publication–in the exact manner as we did for<br />
DISLOCATION in PHOTO PICTORIAL. In total, thirteen issues of<br />
DIGI were published from 1994 to 1995, with the last issue coming<br />
out in 1996.<br />
In this issue of DOUBLE DOUBLE, we reproduced the thirteen<br />
issues of DIGI zine as a complete volume facsimile edition.<br />
The original DIGI zine is in the format of 8.5x11 inch, 16 pages.<br />
Each issue had a 500 print-runs.<br />
